As the woman who wrote THE EDGE OF REASON, and its sequel about the dangers of fundamentalism in this country, I wanted to draw your attention to a fascinating article by Frank Shaeffer one of the founders of the Religious Right.  

 Here's a brief taste of what he had to say.  You can read the entire article here. 

"Yet if the Republican/Religious Right/Neoconservative agenda had come to full fruition over the last 35 years the Republicans would have plunged America into our own version of the misbegotten theocracy destroying Iran today. I know. As a former Religious Right leader I worked to make America "safe" for "Christian values" and dangerous to everyone else. Thankfully I, and those like me, failed."

Please read it.  What these people were plotting in secret meetings is truly terrifying.
